Watch Cam Atkinson score wild pinball goal for Blue Jackets (Video)

The Columbus Blue Jackets routed the St. Louis Blues 7-1 Friday night. Twelve players recorded at least a point, including Cam Atkinson, who put home his 10th of the season after a wild sequence.

With Columbus holding a 1-0 lead late in the first period, Ryan Johansen sent the puck from the corner toward the front of Brian Elliott’s net. The puck then pinballed off Scott Hartnell, then Alex Pietrangelo’s stick, then Hartnell’s helmet, then off the top of the Blues’ net, and was finally batted out of the air by Atkinson:

Just how the Blue Jackets drew it up during their morning skate!

The wild goal was just the start of Elliott’s miserable night. He would be pulled midway through the second period after allowing four goals on 14 shots. Jake Allen wouldn't fare any better letting in the final three goals of the night in the final 31 minutes.
